Don't compare yourself: your chapter 1 isn't their chapter 20
Watching big accounts on loop is demoralising for nothing: here's how to stay on track.
Comparing your first videos to those of creators established for years is comparing a beginning to an outcome. You only see their showcase, never their struggles.
Compare yourself to yourself
The only useful comparison is you a month ago. Go back to your older videos now and then: you'll spot progress that's invisible day to day.
If social media drags your mood down, put some distance and unplug a little. Your worth is never measured by a follower count.
